An Investment in Your Mental Health

Thoughtful, individualized care with clear & transparent fees.

​

Finding the right therapist is a personal decision. The therapeutic relationship, clinical approach, and feeling that you are genuinely understood all matter. I also believe you deserve clear, transparent information about fees from the beginning.

​

Clarity Mental Health Counseling is a private-pay therapy practice in Glen Cove, serving children, teens, young adults, and adults throughout Long Island and New York. I do not participate directly with insurance companies.

​

Like many therapists who focus their practices on particular clinical concerns and treatment approaches, I have intentionally chosen a private-pay model that allows me to structure my practice around individualized and thoughtful care.

​

Individual Therapy

 

$200 per session

50–60 minutes

​

Your appointment time is reserved specifically for you. Treatment is individualized around your needs, goals, and the concerns bringing you to therapy. Depending on your needs, our work may incorporate DBT skills, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), mindfulness, executive functioning strategies, trauma-informed care, and other evidence-based approaches.

Why I’ve Chosen a Private-Pay Model

​

I believe meaningful therapy begins with having the time and capacity to be fully engaged in the therapeutic process.

An important part of how I structure my practice is intentionally maintaining a smaller caseload.

 

Rather than operating as a high-volume practice, I limit the number of clients I work with so that I can remain present, prepared, and thoughtful about each therapeutic relationship.

 

Maintaining an intentionally smaller caseload gives me the capacity to prepare for sessions, thoughtfully consider treatment progress, individualize interventions, participate in ongoing clinical training and consultation, and, when appropriate and authorized, collaborate with parents, schools, or other professionals involved in a client’s care.

​

Working outside of insurance networks also allows the focus, pace, and approach to therapy to be guided by your individual needs and treatment goals, rather than by the requirements of a particular insurance plan.​

Out-of-Network Insurance Benefits  

While Clarity Mental Health Counseling is a private-pay therapy practice and does not participate directly with insurance companies, your health insurance plan may include out-of-network mental health benefits that can help offset the cost of therapy. If you have out-of-network benefits, you may be eligible to receive partial reimbursement from your insurance company for individual therapy sessions. I will provide you with a superbill, which includes the information typically needed to submit a claim directly to your insurance provider.​ Because every insurance plan is different, the amount of reimbursement varies and cannot be guaranteed. Before beginning therapy, I encourage you to contact your insurance company directly to ask about your out-of-network coverage for outpatient mental health services, including your deductible, reimbursement rate, and process for submitting claims.​

I understand that beginning therapy is both a personal and financial decision. If you have questions about fees, out-of-network benefits, or whether my approach may be a good fit for you or your family, you're welcome to reach out.
